Reinhart isn't signing that, Guenther isn't NHL ready, and ignoring all that you at best lose in round 1

This roster as presently constructed is designed if they don’t go anywhere you can blow it up and tank in 2023 where there are 2 All time great prospects.

Reinhart's contract is gonna be in the 7M range.

This team is no where close to competing either. Defense is pretty much the same, except losing one of our best defenders in McCabe. You replace Ullmark with Andersen who's worse. Forward group is worse than last year. Having Eakin at 3C would be big yikes for the team. That Wennberg deal is pretty yikes too. Quinn should be in Rochester next year. No need to rush him.

That’s NOT a Stanley Cup “contender”
Not even close unless all the kids make HUGE LEAPS forward,
and that’s just not likely

I like your optimism though
